RE: Average CB1100 Rider Age
Since May of 2013? Yep I have added 4 years and 1 slot. Deep into the 8% group now. Don't know that I will make it into the last group. We shall see.

Thanks ferret
I have uncommonly good health and strength for my age and I plan to ride until I can't.
I just put the CB in winter storage this weekend and now have to wait until next year.
At my age I sometimes wonder how many "next year's" of riding I have left, but don't dwell on it.
I also think I have the good sense to know when to quit - at least I hope I do
Still rockin', rollin', and ridin' after all these years

RE: Average CB1100 Rider Age
On today's ride I saw an 'older gentleman" shuffling up his sidewalk towards his garage and I thought to myself "That guy is chasing me. Wonder how long before he catches up with me"... ie: wonder how many more years before that is ME? Just in the last 6 months I've gone from going up steps a foot on each step, to step up a step, bring my other foot up beside it, step up a step, bring my other foot up beside it.

Sounds like a bad knee?? I resemble that remark too. Hope it gets better.

Sorry to hear that. Let's hope it's something that can be corrected.
Remarkably, I have no knee or hip problems and really haven't slowed down that much and can ride all day with the best of them.
But I take nothing for granted and take good care of myself with a healthy lifestyle, etc., and I have genetics on my side.
